Official Public Record
This statement is issued for the purpose of accurate public representation. It may be cited or linked to by organisations, educational institutions, and individuals when referencing the Family of Imran in a contemporary context.
Religious Identity and Non-Qur’anic Holidays
Certain holidays are widely observed within the United Kingdom, including but not limited to:
- Christmas, Boxing Day, Good Friday, Easter, Ascension Day, Whit Sunday, All Saints’ Day, and St George’s Day (Christian observances);
- Halloween and Valentine’s Day (cultural or secular in origin);
- Mothering Sunday and Father’s Day (customary observances not prescribed by the Qur’an).
These holidays do not form part of Qur’anic religious practice.
“Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.” — Qur’an 3:19
“And whoever desires other than Islam as religion—never will it be accepted from him…” — Qur’an 3:85
The Family of Imran, as referenced herein, identifies as Muslim in accordance with the Qur’an. Any suggestion that the family celebrates, endorses, or observes the above holidays as religious acts is inaccurate. Where such days are encountered culturally or socially, this does not imply religious affiliation, endorsement, or lineage-based association.
Requests for Accurate Representation
Organisations, publications, and individuals are respectfully requested to:
- Refrain from presenting the Family of Imran as Christian or religiously affiliated with the above holidays;
- Refrain from claiming representation, consent, or authority on behalf of the family without express permission;
- Ensure that references to Maryam, ʿĪsā, and Prophet Muhammad, where linked to the family in a contemporary context, are not framed in a manner inconsistent with a Muslim identity as described in the Qur’an.
“And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].” — Qur’an 2:42
Legal Context (United Kingdom)
This statement is issued with reference to applicable UK law, including protections relating to personal identity, religious belief, and reputation.
Misrepresentation of religious identity or implied affiliation concerning living individuals may give rise to issues under civil law, including misattribution or misuse of personal data. All rights are expressly reserved.
“And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows whatever is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written] in a clear record.”
— Qur’an 6:59
Reliance Upon Allah
The position of the Family of Imran is not dependent on external validation, recognition, or material redress, but upon adherence to the guidance of Allah alone.
“Sufficient for us is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.” — Qur’an 3:173
“And whoever relies upon Allah—then He is sufficient for him.” — Qur’an 65:3
Conclusion
